Just in case you were wondering whether Manuel Mallia was born fully formed as a large adult….

—the bio on his political website begins with HIS BABY PHOTO. That is, not a photograph of the babies he had with his mail order bride, but a photograph of himself as a baby.

Oh, and incidentally – this 60+ Labour star candidate had another baby with his imported woman only a year ago, and named her – grit your teeth – CARMELINA JOLIE.

The chances of her looking like the second half of her namesake are, going on the genetic evidence, really quite remote.

Is he in some kind of hammish names competition with the Great Leader and Michelle?

    I think he left a photo out: his conception.

    Remarkable, He still looks like a 60+ year old baby with spectacles.

    Anka n-nuccali blu. Isjta…

    At that time it was common to take an official studio photograph of the new baby either butt-naked or wearing a nappy.

      It doesn’t mean that one gets to parade such photos in public, especially when one is aged over 60 and is in the public eye.

      But Emmanuel Mallia is progressive. Apparently he was born with his clothes on.

    • Riff Raff says:

      True. I’ve got one somewhere, bil-patata barra. I wonder what stopped the practice. Did the Church say something?

    • cat says:

      With baby boys, the parents showed something else in photographs s and not only their naked butt.

      They were so proud of their masculinity.

  5. ‘Pleasantly plump’ as a baby, ‘Ghastly gross’, as an ‘adult’.

  6. ciccio says:

    Did he award the George Cross to himself?

    He did .not mention that his brother had a bar called The Blue Lantern in Bisazza street Sliema, where a number of unsavoury people and ladies of Ill repute used to congregate.

    Oh it was common, for sure.

    Great observation Daphne; however you must admit he is a drop-dead gorgeous man and surely retains the looks for his age! A month ago I saw him walking on the Sliema promenade with his new bride (I am almost sure he ordered her from the Internet; I mean, come on, we order anything online, what’s so wrong in ordering your girl online?) and their 3 children; the Romanian girl next to him seemed very young to me (she doesn’t seem to be more than 25 yrs of age, so technically Mallia could almost be her nannu Manuel).

    Enjoying the Sunday afternoon walk with these two lovebirds was another young female tending to his children (I overheard a strolling couple a few feet ahead of me saying in hushed voices that this female is the children’s baybysitter; however I don’t exclude that she could be a spare bride just in case things don’t work out with the Romanian one).
